The Police Cadets (Pensions) Regulations 1973

Widow's augmented award

7.—(1) This Regulation shall apply to a widow of a police cadet whose death is the result of a qualifying injury where one of the following conditions is satisfied, namely that—

(a) he was attacked by a person or persons in a manner which was intrinsically likely to cause death and death ensued as a result of the attack, or

(b) the injury was received in the course of duties performed for the immediate purpose of effecting an arrest or of preventing an escape or rescue from legal custody, whether in the course of assisting a constable or otherwise, or

(c) the injury was received in the course of duties performed—

(i) for the immediate purpose of saving the life of another person or of preventing loss of human life, and

(ii) in circumstances in which there was an intrinsic likelihood of his receiving a fatal injury, or

(d) the police authority are of the opinion that one of the preceding conditions may be satisfied, and that this Regulation should apply, or

(e) the police authority are of the opinion that the injury was received otherwise than as aforesaid but in the course of duties performed in such circumstances that it would be inequitable if there were not payable in respect of him such an award as would have been payable had one of the conditions specified in sub-paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) been satisfied.

(2) For the purpose of calculating a widow's special pension and gratuity payable to a widow to whom this Regulation applies, Regulation 28 of the principal Regulations (as applied by Regulation 6 of these Regulations) shall have effect subject to the provisions of Regulation 29 of the principal Regulations as if her husband had been a regular policeman at the time that he received the injury and as if the reference in paragraph (3) of the said Regulation 29 to annual pensionable pay were a reference to the annual pensionable pay of a police cadet attached to the metropolitan police force who has attained the age of 19 years.
